Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
More rugged than most crossovers	The 2.2-litre diesel needs frequent servicing
Proper 4x4 versions are available	Dated and dull driving experience
Well equipped whichever model you choose	Poorly finished cabin

Quick Summary

The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) is a practical compact SUV that launched as a rival to the Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Yeti. Available in front-wheel-drive and proper 4x4 versions, it offers an upright driving position and SUV styling with lower running costs than full-fat offroadersers. The 442-litre boot provides generous luggage space, whilst the rear seats fold with a 60/40 split and incorporate a ski hatch. Standard equipment is generous across the range, with even entry-level models featuring alloy wheels, air-conditioning, and comprehensive airbags.

The engine line-up has evolved significantly over the model's life, with the 1.6-litre diesel offering the best fuel economy at around 55mpg in real-world driving, whilst the 2.2-litre diesel provides livelier performance for those towing or covering motorway miles. The 2019 facelift introduced a new eight-inch touchscreen with DAB, Bluetooth, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. However, the ASX isn't memorable to drive—the ride is comfortable but the overall experience feels bland compared to rivals like the Skoda Yeti or Ford Puma. As a used buy, it makes sense if you find a keen deal, particularly with diesel engines, though the cabin lacks an upmarket finish.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a practical, well-equipped compact SUV with genuine 4x4 capability, and those prioritising fuel economy and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting an engaging driving experience, those seeking a premium cabin finish, or buyers of the 2.2-litre diesel who prefer infrequent servicing.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the ASX if: You're seeking a practical, well-equipped compact SUV with genuine 4x4 capability, prioritising fuel economy and low running costs on a budget.

Consider alternatives if: You want an engaging driving experience, a premium cabin finish, or prefer infrequent servicing schedules.

Competitive Position: The Mitsubishi ASX (2010-2020) is a capable compact SUV that offers genuine 4x4 capability and generous equipment at a competitive price. However, it lags behind rivals like the Skoda Yeti, Renault Captur, and Nissan Qashqai in terms of driving dynamics and cabin quality. Whilst the ASX excels in practicality and ruggedness, its dated driving experience and poorly finished interior mean it's best suited to budget-conscious buyers prioritising value and functionality over premium feel or engaging handling. The diesel engines offer excellent fuel economy, making it an economical choice for high-mileage drivers.
